New Landscapes

Hello, from Central Texas.  Wow, we are having a glorious Sunday.  The pastures are beginning to show tinges of green after our rains.  Although the rains were not a drought buster, they were very welcome.  Below are my fantasy landscapes.  This is how I wish our country looked!

Creek During Summer, 2011.  Hanging at the Copper Shade Tree in Round Top, Tx.
framed to 26x30.

 I am a member of Studio Art Quilters Association which is a fabulous and creative group devoted to art quilts.  The Texas chapter was asked to decorate the walls of an exhibit at the Houston International Quilt Festival during November.  The quilts will all be 9x12 with a hanging sleeve attached.  Here are two of the three I will have at the display.

Cotton Voile Scarves

Greetings!  I have found a new toy on the internet.  It is called Spoonflower.com.  This company prints your designs on various types of fabric.  What could be cooler?  I uploaded some of my landscape photographs and started playing.  Then, I uploaded photos of my fiber art and life really got interesting.  I am using Gimp to manipulate colors and then upload to Spoonflower to printed on cotton voile.  Finally, I make the scarves.  I chose cotton voile over silk because this is Texas.  Cotton is just so much more wearable.  After wearing my scarves, I have discovered that they stay put whereas silk scarves are always sliding around.  I have several styles of scarves and several prints.  Take a peak at:  http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/debbie_g.   I have also included photos of my scarves.  All of these are for sale at the Copper Shade Tree in Round Top or by contacting me.
